Hells-to-the-yes!

Any of our three mappers want to talk about them? Are they new versions?

Wow, awesome, congratulations guys!

-On a side note, the map update seems pretty useless, I've been playing plr_nightfall and pl_frontier for so long now, that going official really doesn't have any effect on me.

Otherwise, good job! :D

It'll be weird playing Frontier without Li'l Chew-Chew.

... It does have a different cart model now, right? The changelog mentions a "new train", but I haven't been able to see it yet. First Steam needed updated, then it wouldn't connect, and then it crashed... and now, I wait for the large download.

I haven't played any of these, but I'll give them a go as soon as I can :D . Got to say that the fact this is one guy's first map gives me hope. It'd be great to make something that gets made into an official community map, but it'll probably be a long time before I release anything that deserves the accolade.

Edit: And fail, seems the official site is down for me
